Building on the legacy of the MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay, this mini version provides the same dark, brooding analog delay tones, while also including a "Bright" switch for added high-end frequencies and a "Mod" switch with internal controls for tape echo and chorus effects. With its versatile features and mini housing, the Carbon Copy Mini is a perfect choice for guitarists looking for a classic analog delay sound.
In just over a decade, the MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay has become a rock 'n' roll staple. Its rich bucket-brigade warmth and elegant simplicity have endeared it to guitar players around the world—weekend warriors and recording pros alike. It's the go-to standard for players who want a well-rounded, easy-to-use delay pedal that sounds incredible. Between the Carbon Copy Analog Delay and Carbon Copy Deluxe Analog Delay, you can find a solution for almost any of your delay needs—but if you're looking to free up some space on your own board, or downsize to a smaller one for travel gigs, then consider another demand met.
The Carbon Copy Mini Analog Delay packs organic analog warmth and ease of use into an MXR mini housing with added sonic versatility so that you can make the most out of your pedalboard real estate. In its default mode, this pedal's repeats yield the dark, mellow wash that made the Carbon Copy Analog Delay famous. For players who want more sparkle and clarity, we added a Bright switch that accentuates high end frequencies for increased presence and distinctively vocal repeats. And of course, the Carbon Copy Mini Delay is outfitted with the same modulation section as its forebear. Push the Mod switch and adjust the internal Speed and Depth controls to add everything from tape echo warble to shimmery, liquefied chorusing to your repeats. Finally, adjust the parameters of your delay signal with the Regen, Mix, and Delay controls.
Guitarists generally praise the MXR Carbon Copy Mini Analog Delay for its compact size, ease of use, and the warm, dark analog delay tones. Many users appreciate the inclusion of a bright switch for added clarity and the modulation feature for creating chorus-like effects. Some reviewers note that the bright mode offers a more defined, vocal-like quality to the repeats, while others appreciate the pedal's ability to self-oscillate for more extreme sounds. While some users find the modulation effects a bit limited due to the lack of adjustable parameters, the overall consensus is that the pedal delivers a great sound and is a welcome addition to any pedalboard.
